Description

Hazelshaw Spring lies at the northeast corner of a larger gated woodland with excellent external links via junction 36 of the M1 which is just three miles away. The Peak District National Park is eight miles to the west and Sheffield is a similar distance to the south.

The wood is predominantly north-facing with near level ground on the upper south side giving way to intermediate slopes further down towards a stream just outside the north boundary.

The upper southern edge is dominated by some strong-growing pine intermixed with a fair proportion of good form beech. Further down the slope this gives way to a stand of Norway spruce overlooking the stream. Other minor species present include birch, oak and holly.

The woodland floor is by and large clear of entangling vegetation making for easy access and management, whilst the hard track on the south edge which links with unsurfaced tracks will facilitate timber extraction.

The wood is designated as a Plantation on an Ancient Woodland Site suggesting at least 400 years of woodland cover, which explains the varied ground flora and range of woodland songbirds present, along with woodpeckers, buzzards, badgers and foxes.

The mix of conifer and broadleaf along with good volumes of timber gives the incoming woodsman (or woman!) plenty of options for selective thinning and shaping the wood’s future character.

If It Were Mine

A little harvesting is definitely in prospect, with the conifers able to produce small quantities of millwood and the beech producing some quality firewood. My preference would be to favour the hardwoods which could progressively become dominant as the wood matures.
